Message: [QUOTE="micromachine, post: 1838764, member: 83166"] Atm I'm trying to think about my pot equity and fold equity during play. The QTs hand you describe is an example of squeeze play really isn't it? You took advantage of the fact that they would call this guy with weakish hands giving you the fold equity you needed. And as you said vs a random hand you have reasonable pot equity too. So we can define pot control as basically trying to keep the pot small with weaker hands or no hand. Capped or uncapped ranges aren't terms that go through my head when I play hands like this but I think I am doing the right thing because I would also bet here almost always. If I think they are showing weakness by betting small or checking the turn I raise and bet with anything from middle pair to ace high. Usually they have made a c-bet and are now slowing down or giving up on the hand after I float the flop. I had a nice hand the other day where I called a large (5BB) raise with 66. Flop was JT3r and villain c-bet just under pot. I had 200+ hands on him and noticed that he had a 100% flop cbet stat (18/18 or something) but only 30% turn cbet so I floated. When he then checked the turn I bet 3/4 pot and he folded. Trouble is I know villains exploit me in this way too. Sometimes I double barrel bluff and induce a fold, other times I give up and they make me fold. I find this scenario tricky to deal with and it really highlights the importance of position. The worst is when I double barrel bluff OOP then give up on the river, they shove (shove bluff a lot probably) and there isn't anything I can do but fold. I did triple barrel bluff with AK recently and induce a fold which was satisfying but normally I wimp out before then. I suppose I find the LAGs the hardest to deal with. How do you deal with them, apart from the obv. tighten up and let their aggression pay you off when you have something? [/QUOTE]
